In Fig. 4, OABC is a square inscribed in a quadrant OPBQ. If OA = 20 cm, find the area of shaded region [Use π = 3.14]
It is given that OABC is a square in the quadrant OPBQ.OA is 20 cm.
We have to find the area of the shaded region.
OABC is a square , therefore sides of the OABC must be equal
Hence OA, AB, BC, OC = 20 cm.
Join the points O and B to form a line segment OB.
Since OB is the diagonal of OABC, is a right angled triangle.
Applying Pythagoras Theorem in
It can be seen from the figure that $Q$ uadrant $O P B Q$ is $\frac{1}{4}$ of a circle with radius $O B(r)$
Therefore area of $O P B Q=\frac{1}{4} \pi r^{2}$
Now, area of the shaded region $=$ area of $O P B Q$-area of $O A B C$
$=\frac{1}{4} \pi r^{2}-s^{2} \quad$ (area of a square with side $s=s^{2}$ )
$=\frac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times(20 \sqrt{2})^{2}-20^{2}$
$=\frac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times 800-400$
$=628-400$
$=228$
Area of the shaded region $=228 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
